last time woot wooted a putter, i heard rumblings of possible bluetooth capabilities... anything like that on this baby? hehe... anyways, the comparison sites have some pretty similar prices on this putter and some other Bobby Grace styles (they have heavier Bobby Grace ones and different shape Bobby Grace ones as well), but woots got them all beat. Take it if you need it.

I gave up Golf, The Windmill always messed killed my score!

still wondering why people like this even post just to make an assinine out of themselves?

no lefty items?!?!?!??!
i do golf and would buy golf items but since im not right handed then this does not help me! my buddy has this putter and does like it alot tho.

I would imagine that this would be only for right handed golfers?

Also the podcast was subpar (no golf pun intended).

I have a slightly diffrent version of this putter with a diffrent shaft. I love it and would recommend it highly. If you are a golfer and are not happy with your putter, This is a great buy! (10x the puter that my ping G5i was) Nice woot, where were you 3 months ago it would have saved me 100 bucks!

Nice Idea...a Putter with built in Juice Box holders....to refresh yourself after successfully sinking the putt after 9 tries from 2 feet out.

One....Click on the picture, it's even weirder looking upside down..
Two....First Woot Podcast that was terrible.
Three...I went camping for a few days, checked up on what I missed on Woot...Nothing.
Four...Am I going to have to wait for a Woot Off to get anything interesting??

different appearance, probably a later iteration?
hard to be sure.

i need a putter to go with my Tommy Armours. (see below...)

It was late for me, I refreshed several times after it turned 1am, prolly 30 or more seconds...

Seems to be better deals on Ebay.

what the hell is that thing? It looks like the ass end of a Vogon destroyer.

I am not a golfer but if I was then I sure wouldn't want to be seen on the green with this ugly tool. In fact I wouldn't even want to be seen with it on the mini-putt course. Bad woot tonight + no woot-off = good night to say goodnight at midnight.

Yeah, for pre-sweated and thrown in the lake versions. They're all used.

Something that looks just like this ugly golf club when viewed from behind.

And I almost forgot
"Fat, drunk, and five-over-par is no way to go through life, son." Are you guys kidding? I'd LOVE to shoot 5 over par! Hell, even bogey golf is a stretch for most of the guys I play with. Well, at least for the honest guys...

is that real wood grain or just cheap laminate?

It appears we need a golf defender. I'm a 30 something, software developer/nerd type that loves 2 way radios, bluetooth anything, kitchen appliances and delicious wine (even though I'm from Utah ).

I wasn't a golfer 2 years ago. Now: 3 times a week at least.

You see, Woot knows you better than you know yourself. The demographic that gets tired of looking at their screen, weekly outings to the bar/poker game/baby showers with friends and the odd need to get away from the wife of a few years and the kid of just 2 years, golf happens to fit the bill.

You can do it with friends, it's barely accross town, it's competitive, has wonderful gambling potential and you can do it with a gut until you're 90.

Remember to check out the woot archives 5-10 years from now (you late 20 somethings) to read just how silly you were to slight this magnificent game.

Now for me, I need that putter... Off to buy (regretting I didn't get that driver)

Read the book, "The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy".

it's funny that I have no idea what that is looks cool but so expensive for something that I don't know what it is

You'd be surprised what abstract configurations of putters are out there...this one's relatively tame by comparison. Duffers would stick a cast iron skillet on a shaft if they thought it would take a stroke off their game.

--100% milled from a solid block of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum

How many aircrafts have been harmed during the making of this product?
Waste of aluminum, but again maybe this would be a better cooler for my CPU...

Why is Woot selling an aluminum ashtray/penholder?

You reminded me that I wasn't thrilled with my Ping G3i. So I just bought a MGBGVFMOIM5K. I like the center shaft setup. My 10th woot!!

4 years ago, this was a pretty sweet design, and the beginning of the behemoth putters.

I'm not sure anyone would buy it nowadays.

mac gregor? makes me think of white sneakers with little velcro straps.

I think a few hours of practice would improve my short game a whole lot more than any putter.

6061 T6 Al is standard aluminum stock. Adding "aircraft" in front of aluminum makes it sound so much more exotic.

This thing on 5.8GHz?

And now I'm angry at right-handed wooting golfers. Grrrrrrrrr

That aint wood, son, that's copper with grooves cut in it.

First one? Your standards are very generous.

is it just me, or did matthew himself actually just post in the forums? his email is listed as podcast@woot.com, and he's been a member since less than a week after woot started...rarely posts in the forum at all...has the name "matthew"...definitely fits, especially since he commented on someone's criticism of tonight's podcast. oh well. if that is you, hi matthew, you rule.

anyway to get a left handed version of this?

that sure is a strange looking ashtray...
